The Kitsap Community Food Co-op welcomes volunteers!
Whether you’re interested in helping in the store, serving on the board, or joining a committee, there is a different way to connect for each type of volunteer opportunity. Please review the opportunities below to learn more about each role and how to connect with us.
Grocery Stocker
The stocker plays an important role in ensuring that products are displayed neatly on the floor, backstock is rotated properly, and the store remains neat and clean at all times. The stocker may assist with processing deliveries, pricing, setting up displays, customer service, or other duties as assigned. Daily, with both AM and PM shifts available.
If you are interested in volunteering in the store, send an email to: volunteers@kitsapfood.coop and our Volunteer Coordinator will reach out to you.
Board Members
The KCFC Board of Directors may have a maximum of ten directors, and functions as the entity that is legally responsible for all business and financial decisions of the co-op. We are actively seeking board members with experience in the following areas: retail management (especially grocery), commercial real estate, finance, contract law, agriculture, marketing/public relations, and fundraising.
Elections occur at the close of our fiscal year in the fall for expiring terms, which last three years.
